TITULAR TROUBLE.
Fraudulent Entries Made by n
Colorado Company.

H n
Colorado Company.
WASHINGTON, November 2l.-The
United States Supreme oOurt to-day
reversed the decision OF the Circuit
Court in the case OF the Colorado Coal
and Iron Company ct al, appellants,
against the United States. The object
of the suit was to declare void, patents
for 9566 acres of land in Las Animas
county, COL, granted some years ago
to the Southern Colorado Coal and
Iron Company, which afterward con-
solidated with the Colorado Coal and
Iron Company. The latter company
procured a mortgage for $500 900
worth of property, for which the gov
ernment received only S12 900. The
government charged that it was a
gigantic conspiracy; that the origina
entries were fictitious; that the alleged
pre-emptors never lived in Colorado,
and that the Register and Receiver of
the land office connived at the fraud.
DECISION OF THE COURT.
The Supreme Court in its decision
holds that the evidence shows fraud
upon the United States sufficient in
equity against the parties perpetrating
it, to Justify the cancellation
of the patents i-sued them, but
that it is no such fraud as to prevent
an issuance of legal title by patents.
In the opinion of this Court the Gov
ernment has not conclusively shown
that the alleged pre-emptors were fic-
titious, nor are the facts sufficient to
overcome the presumption OF inno-
cence on the part of the Register and
Receiver of the Land Office.

TOWNSEND INFERRED.
circumstances of the Disastrous
Collision.

Ell PAso, Tex, November 21.-To-
day Harry Townsend, killed in the
accident on the Mexican Central Sat-
urday night, was buried. Mr.. Hall, a
passenger ON the wrecked train, says
that there we're twenty-four cars in
the train, thirteen of which were
loaded with oil and the remainder
with grading outfit destined for the
Mexican Central Railroad, for which
Townsend had a contract. On rounding
a curve within three miles of Samala-
yuca the engine struck a COW and
the train with the exception of the
engine, two coal cars and two fiat cars
was derailed and demolished. Towns
end, who was sleeping in one Of the
cars, was crushed to death. An Ital-
ian named Lawnelli was thrown a
considerable distance and injured in
ternally. A number of horses and
mules were killed.
THE sTRANGEsT PART
OF the affair was the fact that the en-
gineer was not cognizant at the time
OF the diaster of what had befaller
his train, but ran the engine and foul
cars to Samalayuca, three miles dis.
tant, where he missed his cars, and
telegraphed back to Paso Del Norte
that he had lost part of his train.

His Views ON America and Her

LONDON, November 21.-Lord Ten
nyson has written a letter to Walt
Whitman in which he says: II thank
you for your kind thought of me. l
value your photograph and much wish
that 1 could see not only the sun pic
ture, but also the living original. May
you still live and flourish for many
years. The coming years
should give new life to ev-
cry American who has breathed
the breath of soul which inspired the
great founders of the American Con-
stitution, whose work you are to cele-
brate. Truly the mother country
pondering thus may feel that how
much soever the daughter owes her,
she (the mother) has nevertheless
something to learn from lhe daughter.
Especially 1 would note the care
taken to guard the noble constitution
from rash and unwise innovators."

THE MORRISON MEDAL.
IL is BESTOWED by the League on
Nick Smith.

SAN Francisco, November 2l.-Ihe
official averages Of the players OF the
California League for 1887 has been
completed, and the best batting aver
ages for the season are those Of Van
Haltren, Az, Hardie, $40. and Nick
Smith, 3O7. Smith is the winner of
the handsome Morrison medal, offered
by Lewis Morrison, the actor, to the
player having the best batting average
for the entire season; for, though his
average is lower than that OF either
Van Haltren or Hardie, he played
through the entire season, while they
played only a few games, and the
League officials justly decided that he
was more entitled to receive the medal
than either of them.

LONDON, November 81 1.-Two bodies
of victims of the sunken steamer
Scholten have floated ashore at Deal
There is now no doubt that Captain
Taat went down with the steamer. Mr.
Robson, one OF the passengers saved
stated to a reporter that the Scholten
had just weighed anchor when the col
lision occurred. There were 800 life
belts on board and most of the pas
sengers were supplied with them, but
they proved useless in the majority OF
cases, as the people were engulfed
with the ship. The steamers deck
burst when she was laundering. The
sunken vessel lies in twenty fathoms
OF water. The survivors will sail for
New York on Wednesday.
$50 MISSING.
DOVER, November 21.-Eighty per-
sons in all out of 230 have been sa aved
from the wrecked steamer Scholten.
There is another survivor in the hos
pital whose name is not known. 1t is
the universal feeling that the fault of
the collision rests with the Rosa
Mary.
AN AGENTS EXPLANATION.
NEW YORK, November 21.-In an
interview to-day the agent of the Van
der Worn line said that he did not
believe the stories that the crew of
the steamer Scholten sought their
own safety, leaving the passengers to
their fate. When asked why only
two of the ships life-boats had been
launched, the agent said: "The life
boats were swung in davits amid
ships, three on either side. Two OF
those on the port side were crushed.
The water as it rushed into
the midship compartment gave her
such list to port that the starboard
boats could not be launched from that
side. One of them was subsequently
launched, and the lashings of the
others were cut in the hope that when
the vessel went down they would float,
and possibly some of the passengers
who might be floating in the water
might thus be saved. The Scholten
sank quickly because the break was
in the engine room which is the larg-
est compartment.
VALUABLE VESSEL.
She was one of the best vessels in
the service of the company, and was
built with seven water-tight bulk
heads. She was valued at $240,000
and was insured for $175 900. She
had a very valuable cargo. Her
total value is estimated at $500, 900,
most of which is covered by insur-
